Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyLil Bow Wow is the best one, FOR SURE! I had such a crush, its ridiculous.
Log in to replyIf Wionna Ryder came to my bedroom window late at night with two plane tickets demanding I run away with her to Tahiti, I would do it, I swear I would do it.
Log in to replyMe too.
Log in to replyaw I didn’t even know one of my photos was a background photo for this month, thanks guys.
Now I’m having the hardest time on whether or not to have that photo of Lil Bow Wow as my new desktop screensaver hmm
Log in to replyI must have missed the post with your photos, but I’ve just looked back through them and they’re so gorgeous. Probably one of my favourite albums on Rookie, honestly.
You’re so talented.

Log in to replyRookie, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I can’t there are too many ways. Please marry me and/or come and party at my house.

Log in to replySuper irrelevant, but there’s, like, a limbo world between images 20 and 21. Just noticed.
I loved the last one, Adrian Tomine’s, and really could not stop looking at it. I thoroughly enjoy that graphic novel style outside of actual graphic novels.

Log in to replyugh rookie makes me so so happy.
Log in to replyi burn, i pine, i perish!
sweet and inspiring!
Log in to replyBecause I know you Rookie writers recall all the backgrounds like true preservationists, I think you can help me track down a photo that you MIGHT have used. It’s in black and white, and it has a girl with her eyes closed and her mouth slightly open. I think it might be a still from a movie, because I saw a copy of that film magazine Godard wrote for and it was on the cover…..
